She filed for divorce from her movie-star husband in September 2016 after 12 years together.And now Angelina Jolie, 42, has revealed she thought working with ex Brad Pitt, 53, on 2015's By The Sea would help them communicate better as a couple.The actress directed the marital drama movie two years ago and admitted she thought it could have had a positive impact on their relationship by working together on a big project.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter's podcast Awards Chatter, she said: 'We had met working together and we worked together well...I wanted us to do some serious work together...I thought it would be a good way for us to communicate.'In some ways it was, and in some ways we learned some things. But there was a heaviness probably during that situation that carried on and it wasn't because of the film.She continued: 'It was something that we were dealing... things happen for different reasons, and things... why did I write that exact piece? Why did we feel that way when we made it? I'm not sure.'The couple - who together have six children - met while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and Jolie candidly explained how she had a difficult time in the decade after they sparked a romance.'Over the span of that decade, I did lose my mother,' she added. 'I did have my mastectomy, and I did then have an ovarian cancer scare and have that surgery as well, and other things of course that happened in life that you go through.'A piece of art can be something that's healing or something that's difficult. I don't know. I'm glad we did that film because we did explore something together. She finished: 'Whatever it was maybe it didn't solve certain things, but we did communicate something that needed to be communicated to each other.'
Together, the former couple have Maddox, 16, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.And on Monday, Angelina spent some quality time with daughter Vivienne in Los Angeles.The Hollywood star looked in high spirits as she stepped out with the nine-year-old as she arrived for her Karate class.Sunglass-clad Angelina looked endless chic in a cream knee-length coat, black denims and white tee, while Vivienne looked ready for her active class in her white martial arts trousers and a green T-shirt. Elsewhere, Angelina was candid while promoting her new film First They Killed My Father when she admitted that filing for divorce after a 12 year relationship has been difficult.She said: 'Sometimes maybe it appears I am pulling it all together. But really I am just trying to get through my days.' 'I don’t enjoy being single. It’s not something I wanted,' she continued in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph. 'There are no upsides, there's nothing nice about it. It's just hard.' Meanwhile, she signed up for Maleficent 2 this summer following the success of the 2014 original.Speaking at the Telluride Film Festival over the weekend, the actress said: 'We have been working on the script and this is going to be a really strong sequel.'Although not much else is known about the upcoming sequel, last week, Disney revealed they have hired Spectre co-writer Jez Butterworth to rewrite the screenplay for the film.

Angelina Jolie NOT “Desperate” For Brad Pitt Reconciliation, Despite Reports

Angelina Jolie is not “desperate” for a reconciliation with Brad Pitt, despite reports contending she wants him “back.” Gossip Cop can correct this misinformation and explain how it originated.HollywoodLife is announcing in a headline, “Angelina Jolie Reportedly Desperate For Brad Pitt Reconciliation: Why He’d Never Take Her Back.” For a change, the webloid isn’t guilty of making this up. Rather, it’s guilty of picking up these contentions from a tabloid without bothering to fact-check them first. The claims were initially published by Life & Style, and HollywoodLife saw fit to regurgitate them with no regards to whether they’re even accurate. And, of course, they’re not.But the site quotes a purported source from the magazine as saying of Jolie, “She’s been in tears over losing him. She’s told friends, ‘I made the mistake of a lifetime.'” The problem, according to these two publications, is that “Brad feels too much damage has been done and she’s tormented him for too long to consider taking her back.” In actuality, the real problem is that this was all manufactured by one outlet and then spread online by another.What’s particularly mind-boggling is that both places are pretending these assertions aren’t inconsistent with allegations they’ve peddled in the past. For instance, while now running these contentions about one side wanting a reconciliation, Life & Style isn’t acknowledging that it previously claimed Jolie and Pitt were “secretly dating” in May. And HollywoodLife is conveniently forgetting that it fell for that false story and similarly wrongly claimed Jolie and Pitt were back together. If that were the case, why are the two insisting now that she wants to reconcile and he’s refusing? After all, months ago they were already supposedly reunited.That wasn’t true, of course, and it’s obvious that in addition to not caring about accuracy, these publications don’t care about consistency, either. It’s also obvious that if either had real insight on Jolie and Pitt, it wouldn’t have run wrong information in the first place. But the estranged spouses weren’t back together in May, and one half isn’t pushing for a reunion now. They remain separated, and while Jolie has admitted she doesn’t “enjoy being single,” that doesn’t mean the divorce isn’t going to move forward, Gossip Cop is told.

Angelina Jolie Gets ‘Aggressive’ With Major Makeover!

Why she’s desperate to make ‘maximum impression.’ RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal Angelina Jolie is sexing up her image in the run-up to awards season! “Angelina is getting more aggressive ever with her fashion choices and social appointments in order to make a maximum impression, especially at events where there’s no chance Brad Pitt or any of his extensive network of Hollywood colleagues will be attending,” an insider revealed.“This is a good year for Angelina to make this kind of move because she’s a serious contender for Best Foreign Language Film” with First They Killed My Father, said the source.It also helps that single-mom Jolie, 42, probably won’t have to deal with any awkward Oscar run-ins with her ex.“Brad’s company is not in contention with a major film as they have been in all three of the previous awards seasons,” noted the insider.“That’s given Angie the freedom to make bold choices you just don’t see her doing that often, and it’s working, because Angelina is the frontrunner and Netflix is a company willing to spend tens of millions to win its first big Oscar — and it looks like Angelina will be the one to win it for them.”

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s Kids Hoping To “Spend Christmas Together As A Family” Is Made-Up Story

HollywoodLife claims to have “exclusively learned” that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s six kids hope their estranged parents will reunite over the holidays so they can all “spend Christmas together as a family.” Gossip Cop, however, has learned that no one close to the family spoke to the untrustworthy website about the Jolie-Pitt children’s Christmas wishes.A so-called “source” tells the outlet that the actress “really wants to take the kids away for Christmas,” particularly to Cambodia, but her estranged husband “wants to spend time with the children too, so he’s begged Angelina to stay in town.” The site’s alleged insider goes on to say the exes’ kids also asked their mom to stay in Los Angeles because “they hate to think of [their dad] being on his own.”The blog’s bogus source further purports that Jolie “will have the kids Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning, then they will go to their dad’s for a few hours before heading back to Angelina’s for dinner.” The supposed insider adds, “The kids would really love to spend the day with both of their parents together, but that’s still really not an option. Brad and Angelina have come pretty far since their break-up, but they’re definitely not at the stage of being friends yet.”
Does HollywoodLies, as its known, really expect its readers to believe that someone close enough to either Pitt or Jolie would then leak the information to an untrustworthy blog? Gossip Cop has repeatedly been assured that no one in the actor or actress’s inner circles discuss their personal life with the website, and that’s especially true when it comes to their kids.It should also be noted, Gossip Cop busted HollywoodLife for concocting other bogus holiday-related stories about the family. We called out the outlet just last week for making up a phony article about Pitt and Jolie fighting over who spends Thanksgiving with the kids. Shortly before that, we debunked the webloid’s made-up report about Jolie inviting Pitt to go trick-or-treating on Halloween with her and the children. Based on its (predictable) history, Gossip Cop suspects HollywoodLies will next fabricate a story surrounding the family’s New Year’s plans.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie “Secret Reunion” Made Up By Site

A new report claiming Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will attempt to “rekindle their romance” during a “secret reunion” in London next year is completely made-up. Gossip Cop looked into the supposed plans for a reconciliation and we can exclusively set the record straight.“Brangelina Back Together: Inside Pitt & Jolie Secret Reunion With The Whole Family!” reads a new RadarOnline headline. The accompanying article says the estranged spouses are both expected to shoot movies in London early next year, so now “they’re planning a top-secret meeting.” Pitt is attached to star in World War Z 2, while Jolie is currently prepping for Maleficent 2, prompting a supposed “insider” to tell the site, “Brad and Angie are both well aware that they are headed on a collision course for filming blockbuster sequels.” The outlet’s questionable source continues, “The upside of all of this is that the family is going to have one big chance to be together for an extended period of time… This is going to be a whole new world, and an easier one too because they will be able to co-parent while still making these huge blockbuster movies on alternating schedules.” The seemingly nonexistent insider goes on to say the exes will also spend their downtime trying to repair their marriage, adding, “If this doesn’t get them back together for real, I don’t think anything will.” The first problem with the webloid’s bogus article is that World War Z 2 is still in the early stages of development and nowhere near ready to go into production. In fact, director David Fincher revealed in an interview earlier this month that there’s no script ready yet. It’s unlikely the crew is scouting locations in London when there isn’t even a completed screenplay. As for Jolie’s Maleficent sequel, Gossip Cop has learned the Disney movie is also still being written. Although it’s possible that both sequels will get underway sometime next year, neither project is scheduled to shoot in London at of yet. Regardless, Gossip Cop still checked in with a source close to the situation, who exclusively assures us the site’s story is simply “not true.” RadarOnline is the same untrustworthy outlet that Gossip Cop recently busted for falsely claiming Pitt believed Jolie was casting “voodoo spells” on him. Shortly before that nonsense, we called out the webloid for wrongly reporting Pitt and Jolie secretly split two years before announcing their divorce. This latest article surrounding the estranged spouses is similarly phony.
